Exactly. Once upon the time, GM was helpful. If you made your sequencer play a BassDrum, on one synth, it would play a BassDrum on a different GM machine too, without any configuration. Today MIDI + GM appear too limited. We need 3 drum-kits, 10 snares, 52 channels, 64 bit .... spoiled musicians ;) With current OSC, one would have to configure the headstrong soup of both sender and receiver. -- E.R. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
